4th of July Cards

We are attending some 4th of July parties this year that I wanted to thank the host for having us.  Plus it gives me a reason to make cards!  Here are 2 versions of the same card.

White base card

Red base card

I made the Whisper White card first but wanted to change it slightly since the stripes didn't quite fit the full card.  That's why I made the second one and the white layer fit perfectly into the Stripes Textured Impressions Embossing Folder Die.  Which one do you like better?

Supplies needed to make this card:

Card Stock: Whisper White

                     Real Red

                     Real Red from Designer Series Paper Patterns Pack - Brights Collection

                     Midnight Muse (new 2012-2014 in color)

                     Silver Glimmer Paper

Stamp Set: Broadsheet Alphabet

Ink: Midnight Muse

        Real Red

Accessories: Cherry Cobbler Baker's Twine

                      3/16" Brads - Brights Collection

                      Brights Glimmer Brads

                      Cherry Cobbler Dazzling Details
           Tools: Big Shot

                      Stripes Textured Impressions Embossing Folder Die

                      Perfect Pennats Bigz Die (circles cut in half for banners)

                      Boho Blossoms Punch

    Adhesives: Snail

                       Stampin' Dimensionals

                       Mini Glue Dots

Name that Set?

If you remember a few weeks ago I mentioned that I was participating in a demonstrator swap with ladies who are in my upline Stampin' Up group.  I made 10 of the same cards.  It took some time but I really enjoyed it and I was proud of what I came up with.

I mailed them off with a return envelope for my swaps to be mailed back to me.  Boy was I excited to see them in the mail last Monday when I came home from work.  It was like Christmas all over again!

After seeing all of the cards, I can tell we have a VERY creative group of local demonstrators.  I look forward to more swaps and getting lots of inspiration from these ladies!

I will post one card a day (except for weekends) so you aren't overwhelmed with pictures in one post.  Plus it will be something to look forward to each morning as I post at 7am EST.

The swap was to feature one new stamp set from the Occasions mini catalog. 
Can you name the stamp set on each card everyday? 
Jot down your answers and on the 10th day (February 10th), email me your answers to be put into a drawing for a FREE gift for having all of the answers correct each day.  To qualify all you have to do is visit my blog each day, note the name of the stamp set used from the Occasions mini catalog than email me your answers on February 10th!  You have all day to submit your answers than I will notify the winner the next day so they can claim their prize!

So, let's get started with the first card.  Can you name that set?

Note: This card isn't my creation but I have been given permission by the creator Jen Smyzd to share on my blog.  She's my upline and a wonderful crafter.  Check her blog out to see more!

Christmas Cards

I know this is long overdue, but I actually didn't send my cards out this year until the Friday before Christmas. I obviously didn't have very good time management this holiday season! Maybe a new year's resolution for the upcoming year :)

I created this easy and simple card because I had a bunch to send and not a whole lot of time. It turned out to be very cute though and could easily be in my next year's holiday workshops, classes and stamp-a-stack. I created two different versions cause I could only do the same thing so many times. Plus I wanted to see what changing the colors would do to the card. So here's the two versions of my Xmas cards this year.







Inside saying that I just love with Season's Greetings on front

 Here's what I used:

Cardstock: Whisper White
                   Real Red
                   Garden Green

Ink: Real Red
        Garden Green

Stamp Sets: Stitched Stockings from 2011 Holiday Mini
                   Many Merry Messages

Supplies: Clear Block for stocking stamps
                Big Shot
                Snow Burst Textured Impressions Embossing Folder from 2011 Holiday Mini
                Stocking Builder Punch from 2011 Holiday Mini (which will NOT be carried over so get it before January 3rd if you love this punch!)
                Glimmer Brads in Real Red and Garden Green
                Paper Piercing Tool
                Mat Stack
                Snail Adhesive

That's all it takes to make this simple but beautiful card.  Let me know what you think by leaving a comment.
